Ultrasound clearly outlines the excess fluid (ascites) in the abdomen of patients with many types of disease. Glasgow's Dr. Ian Donald has perfected his technique to the point where he can distinguish between an abdomen with ascites caused by a benign tumor, and one with ascites caused by cancer...
...Japan. He gave the Japanese a constitution and a will to create a new life, and for that he was idolized as much as if he had been a god. MacArthur himself enjoyed his new job immensely. Efficient, indefatigable, imperious in everything he did, he struck outsiders as a benign but egocentric despot. MacArthur hardly bothered to listen to what others had to say, for he liked to talk himself. But when he spoke, he exhibited an uncommon grasp of a wide variety of non-military subjects, from economics to politics. Even the most skeptical of his visitors went away...
Those Aching Arms. No one who ever saw him as Senate leader could ever forget it. He seemed to be everywhere -in the chamber, the cloakrooms, the caucuses and the corridors-cajoling, persuading, convincing and sometimes threatening.

...Democrat alike, Goldwater seems as radical as Norman Thomas. His fundamental axiom comes straight from 18th and 19th century political lore. From his contention that the government serves only as a guardian of the natural laws of competition follow all his domestic positions. But in foreign policy the benign policeman becomes a strong-armed archangel, a Michael brandishing his flaming sword around the globe, turning deaf ears on the cries of the stricken. Goldwater himself admits that his is not the spirit of the times: "You are not going to reverse all these trends immediately. If you did it would...
